STUDENT EXPERIENCE
Year Snapshot
The student learning experience at La Luz is organized by:
-
Studios: 3-6 week deep immersion experiences in projects and community field work.
-
Intensives: 1-2 week deep immersion experiences into fields of study students are passionate about, such as game theory, energy, cooking.
For the 2023-2024 school year, our student experiences look like the following:
Community-Based Experiential Learning
Competency-Based Learning
At La Luz, learning happens through authentic, real-world, and fun experiences that take place outside of the classroom and in the community. We believe that students learn best through doing and reflecting in a community-based ecosystem of learning.
In a competency-based approach, we measure what matters, which not only includes academic competencies, but also the specific skills, habits, and dispositions we want learners to develop. This is a whole child approach that moves away from traditional methods of grading and assessment.
